Weather Patterns and Ocean Influence

What role does the jet stream play in influencing local weather conditions?

• It alters wind speed and direction.

• It stores solar radiation.

• It transports ocean water.

• It causes ocean evaporation.

How do ocean currents regulate global climate?

• By transporting warm water from the equator towards the poles.

• By increasing the Earth's rotation speed.

• By decreasing wind speed globally.

• By preventing the formation of clouds.

What happens when a cold front occurs?

• A mass of cold air pushes a warm air mass upwards, leading to thunderstorms.

• A warm air mass overtakes a cold air mass, resulting in steady rain.

• The ocean absorbs more solar energy, increasing temperature.

• The jet stream changes its path, affecting airplane travel.

Which of the following is a result of ocean evaporation?

• Formation of rain and storms carried by trade winds.

• Decrease in global temperature.

• Increase in Earth's rotation speed.

• Formation of cumulonimbus clouds.

Why is understanding global weather patterns essential for predicting local weather conditions?

• It helps mitigate the effects of adverse weather conditions.

• It increases the Earth's rotation speed.

• It prevents the formation of clouds.

• It decreases wind speed globally.

What causes the jet stream to happen?

• Volcanic eruptions influence jet stream patterns.
• Temperature between hot and cold regions creates pressure differences .

• Ocean currents create the jet stream.
• Jet streams are caused by Lunar radiation entering Earth's atmosphere starting fires

• Pressure by atoms on each other when its hot causes friction which is the

WHAT ARE SOME CHARACTERITICS OF A WARM FRONT?

• Consistent high winds with no precipitation
• Formation of tornadoes and thunderstorms
• Sudden temperature drop and heavy snowfall which could cause an avalanche

• Temperature increase, cloud formation, rain a change in wind direction.
